The interpretative nature of knowledge

hermeneutics and sensory order

pp. 11-53

The primary intention of this book is to investigate the non-atomistic variant of methodological individualism which, following Friedrich Hayek, I shall in future call "methodological individualism". According to methodological individualism, social phenomena are emergent properties deriving, largely unintentionally, from the interactions between autonomous individuals – autonomous in the sense that they are not controlled by environmental factors, but are self-determined (see Laurent 1994).
